Duties of a King

His son wasted no time in arriving. Always punctual, was Cerberus. He was proving to be a very reliable young man. Sometimes it was remarkable that someone so attentive and selfless could come from Chimera's blood. "Cerberus," the big man rumbled in a return greeting. The growing lad sat nearby and together they waited for the third member of the party.

Soon the gold and grey fae approached, greeting the pair. Chimera dipped his head in greeting, then looked between the pair. "Cerberus, this is Athena, a newly recruited pack member. Athena, this is Cerberus, my son and the future King of Fenmyre." If the boy was eventually up to the task, that was. The man had high hopes for his first born son.

Chimera's gaze shifted to rest fully on the lanky, russet and obsidian boy. "Cerberus, I'm leaving it up to you to show Athena both the island and the aspens. You should know the patrol schedule by now. Fit her into the island patrols." He looked to Athena next. "Any questions that you have will be directed to Cerberus. If he doesn't know the answer, then you may come to me." This would be a good lesson for the boy. He would be in charge of the new recruit and would learn what responsibility and leadership was all about. He'd have a good taste of it before they left on their journey in the coming weeks.

Giving a nod to the pair, the King rose and moved off. He'd said all that needed to be said and his work with the pair was done. The rest was up to Cerberus and he knew that the boy wouldn't let him down.
